Pierre Bonnaure pursues an investigation published in Futuribles of the role played by information and communications technologies in economic growth. He shares here his view of the impact of regulation in this sector and stresses, in particular, the importance in economic warfare of how norms are defined; he argues that, through lack of political judgement, the French – and sometimes the Europeans – have often made bad decisions about regulations which have then handicapped them vis-à-vis their main competitors (the United States and Japan).
